Singles hit for Macklemore & Lewis
US rapper Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have landed their third consecutive No.1 single in Australia as Can't Hold Us rises one place to take out the top spot on this week's ARIA Singles Chart.

In between the girls are the duo of MKTO who leap up six places to No.4 with Thank You, while James Arthur is down three places to No.6 with Impossible.
Meanwhile the third studio album for Justin Timberlake becomes his second No.1 album in Australia as The 20/20 Experience debuts at the top of the ARIA Albums chart.
Last week's No.1 debut of What About Now for Bon Jovi is down one place to No.2, and while Ed Sheeran finished up his national tour, his album + rose again, up two places to No.3 this week.
Pink holds at No.4 with The Truth About Love, with March Fires for Birds of Tokyo down two places to No.5 and last week's No.2 debut of The Next Day for David Bowie falling four places to No.6 this week.
The Macklemore and Ryan Lewis album The Heist up one place to No.7 and Bruno Mars is down one place to No.10 with his Unorthodox Jukebox album.
In between Bruce Springsteen jumped seven places to No.8 with his new best of set Collection: 1973-2012 and returning to its original debut position of No.9 is Passenger with All the Little Lights. Both acts are touring the country at the mo! ment.
